*Starts pseudo-cult conspiracy saying Notch is working secretly and using jeb_ as an actually useless face of the game*
This was the best part of the thread, made me giggle a bit.
As far as the thread is concerned I'm sure Notch will be in and out of Minecraft's post release development just like he was in the prior months. There is no definitive answer unless it came from Notch himself, merely wordplay and speculation. He is going to do as he wants, he'll wake up one day and tweet about some great feature idea he has and all of a sudden he'll be developing on Minecraft again in the future. Notch can be spontaneous like that.
I do favor Jens when it comes to Minecraft development so it's great news to hear he is taking the lead again for awhile.
Whatever happened to spawning on sand? It gave the impression that you have been stranded in such an incredible new world.
Now and apparently for release, you just spawn anywhere... I still spawned on tree tops and such. I haven't been around for quite a bit but was there ever any explanation to this officially?
You know, I now think I'd rather have this update release as a whole update and wait even further for it. It should be delayed to sometime in October and release all together (1.8 & 1.9).
I understand some folks would absolutely dread this but considering some things I'd think it would be for the better.
Mossy logs, Green tinted water, lily pads, sky tint, taller trees and sunken trees would make it perfect.
And frogs... their sound and presence would just lend so much to the atmosphere and give it that southern swampy feeling.
This is all ideas I tweeted to Notch long ago and even recently when he posted the picture, but he is always reluctant to answer back or acknowledge. Leaving me only hoping that many others would have same/similar ideas and suggestions to eventually get his or Jens attention
I just dont think that fov could effect it THAT much. If it was a chest, the top of it would be a bit taller than that. But then again i could be wrong and the fov is just set up badly. In any case we'll see what it is when the update is released.
Angles work incredibly strange in a pixelated blocky game such as Minecraft. :smile.gif:
It couldn't be another chest, look at the angle the main chest opens at and then look at the thing behind the cactus, so my best guess is that it's a pot.
That's because the field of view has been changed for the shot... it's a chest that looks opened from the backside of it.
Or it looks like an over analyzed chest Notch placed down when deciding what angle to take the shot to include the sun and it's new lighting effect when setting...
The post is invalid because you took no time to read all of the other posts which have said the same thing and I responded to more kindly.
If my post is invalid than your post is ignorant, because I actually do read entire threads I engage in. Nothing you've written or will potentially write in the future will change what I post on this particular subject matter.
None of you obviously took any time to read most of the discussion, everything you said has been said before and I have given an appropriate response to it. The basic structure of this response is: The post is an opinion, or a pointed statement, not a complaint or a nitpick. The new pigs look ugly to me, and to others who have become attached to the look and feel of things in the game since we bought it. 1.8 is a big change for us all, and complaining about it won't make it better. But there is no harm in stating open-minded and thoughtful opinions on the matter, which I have seen only a few of in this entire thread.
I am amazed that you any of you couldn't think of something more constructive to say than these inane remarks.
Your contradicting yourself in this post first of all. Secondly as you have pointed it out - it's a statement, the same way my post is a statement. Doesn't make it invalid and inane because you don't like my deposition.
It's such a minor detail it doesn't really warrant any thorough discussion besides opinionated views, of which you have yours and I have mine.
Just keep it as Endermen... I understand how much Minecraft means to most but there are just way too many nitpicky folk out there that wants to change anything and everything any time something new is mentioned.

Thanks for the assumptions.

Probably something that can be added in 1.9 if people remind him and bug him enough on Twitter.

This.
A common practice that has been mastered by many here.
